Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Upon hearing the words of the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King, Wang Teng remained calm and glanced at the other party.

Although he didn't say anything, the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King sensed the meaning behind his gaze.

"I understand, I will do this well." The Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King nodded and spoke respectfully.

Even disregarding the other party's status and position, the mere fact that the other party possessed the strength to pose a threat and the audacity to casually offer a legendary holy weapon was enough to command respect from him.

Not to mention that a large part of the reason these two came to Earth was because of those two little guys.

Those who are subordinates must have the ability to understand the thoughts of their superiors; only in this way can they thrive.

Although this Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King is now considered the strongest fighting force among the Demon Clan, he was once just an ordinary Demon Clan member. His ability to reach this point is beyond doubt.

"Their parents are just ordinary people after all. Don't put too much pressure on them," Wang Teng said calmly, reminding the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! We will handle this matter perfectly!" The Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King patted his chest and assured him confidently that he would do a good job.

Hearing his words, Wang Teng nodded.

However, Yan Ruyu, standing to the side, glanced at Wang Teng with a subtle look in her eyes.

"Prince Consort?" Yan Ruyu parted her lips slightly, a faint smile in her eyes.

If she hadn't looked through the Earth's demon race records earlier, she might not have known what the words "Prince Consort" meant, but now she knew very well.

"Yes, isn't this the prince consort of our demon race?" The demon race's Dao-Slaying King spoke up at the opportune moment.

With his shrewd insight, how could he not see that the boy in front of him and their demon princess had not yet reached that stage, but were only very close? However, how could the cunning old man let go of any opportunity to make progress?

He knew perfectly well that the two of them were in what ordinary people would call an ambiguous period or a relationship that was more than friendship but not quite romance, just one step away from becoming lovers.

Every word he says now could be a great assist, and it will definitely leave a deep impression on these two.

“Not yet…” Wang Teng said with a faint smile.

Yan Ruyu's face was unusually flushed.

Looking back on their emotional journey, it was as calm as a still pond. From their first meeting to getting to know each other and falling in love, they seemed to have never experienced anything too dramatic. But it was precisely this calmness and ordinariness that made their relationship so precious.

Because there were no particularly thrilling events, their relationship didn't heat up rapidly due to external factors. Instead, it gradually warmed up through their daily interactions, through each other's glances, smiles, and gestures.

So looking back, it seems like they've known each other for more than just a few years, but like close friends who have known each other for countless years. Sometimes they don't even need to say anything; a single glance is enough for them to understand each other's meaning.

The relationship has progressed naturally; it's just one final step away.

However, things have remained uneventful until now, and neither of them has thought about taking the initiative to make that move. Letting things take their natural course and letting things develop as they will may be more suitable for them.

simple is the best.

"I understand, that's the Prince Consort!" the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King said confidently.

He had some initial suspicions, but now that he saw the once aloof princess act like a little girl, he knew that the matter was definitely settled!
These two are locked in!
However, he only broke the ice with the two of them. He was not arrogant or irrational. He did not intend to take advantage of the opportunity when other demons returned to their ancestral clans to coerce the two of them into a relationship. He knew when to stop and would never go too far, so as not to arouse their resentment and ruin the goodwill and impression he had worked so hard to build.

"This matter..." Yan Ruyu began. She originally wanted to say that this matter should not be publicized, but then she thought that other demon races in Beidou probably thought the same way.

As for the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King, they have always been thinking about taking their relationship with Wang Teng to the next level.

The only publicly recognized Great Sage among the demon race is also on Wang Teng's side. When the Crane Great Sage was siding with the demon race, he kept an eye on her, his eyes filled with the scrutiny and doting affection of an elder for a junior.

In addition, the demons of Nanling were also inquiring about these matters.

It seems that everyone believes that the demon princess will have a very anticipated marriage with the young Northern Emperor, even though neither of the two parties has said anything yet.

Therefore, the demon princess didn't offer any further explanation.

"Then please allow the princess and her consort to rest for a while. We have already sent out the invitations, and they will arrive by tomorrow at the latest to pay their respects to Your Highness!" The demon king said with a smile and respectfully withdrew.

No sooner had he stepped down than he summoned all the young demons and outstanding prodigies of his lineage.

"Do not harbor any improper thoughts about that princess. Be aware of your role and position, and do not offend the young man beside the princess. He is now capable of suppressing powerful beings, and he is also a member of the younger generation. He is probably not even twenty years old yet. He and the princess are in love and will surely become the prince consort of our demon race in the future. I do not want them to hear any rumors or unrealistic fantasies about the two of them from anyone during their stay in our demon race!"
Once it reaches my ears, no matter how it gets there, I will meticulously investigate, find the person who spread the message and its source, and send them back to the cycle of reincarnation!

The Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King spoke in a cold voice.

Just now, when he was in front of Yan Ruyu and Wang Teng, he was all smiles and said everything with a deep respect on his face.

However, when facing these people in his tribe, his attitude was exceptionally serious, and his eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

Whether they were trying to curry favor or genuinely seeking the truth, that princess was not someone they could afford to offend!
If anyone were to shatter the impression he had built up through so much groveling, he would absolutely retaliate without hesitation!
Seeing their king ancestor so serious, the group of demons immediately became solemn. They nodded, their faces full of seriousness.

"I hope you have remembered what I said! I don't care about the other demon clans, I only care about you. If you disobey me and I trace the source back to you, think carefully about the consequences!"

After speaking, the Demon King turned and left, leaving some demons looking at each other in bewilderment.

Among the demons, Wang Teng and Yan Ruyu strolled hand in hand. The demon territory was quite large, and most importantly, walking around the demon territory was almost like witnessing the entire five thousand years of development of this planet.

Some demon races are very conservative, always following the living environment of their ancestors. Even for thousands of years, they have lived in caves and traveled in clothes made of tree bark or leaves, looking full of primitiveness, as if they have just traveled from the primitive era.

Some demons, perhaps because of certain events they experienced in a certain era, still retain the customs and traditions of that dynasty. Wang Teng even saw an old demon dressed in Song Dynasty clothing.

Of course, there are also some young demons who are open-minded. They wear fashionable clothes, cosplay as characters from popular anime, and leisurely walk around their tribe's territory. There are also female demons who dress boldly, wearing school swimsuits that reveal large areas of white skin. Their swaying figures as they walk make people's imaginations run wild.

Wang Teng's gaze swept over the demons, and then he felt a force of moderate strength coming from his arm.

Wang Teng turned his head and saw Yan Ruyu, who was looking straight ahead.

He couldn't help but chuckle. Even the aloof and ethereal Yan Ruyu, as flawless as a fairy, could get jealous. When his gaze swept over those scantily clad female demons, she would feel displeased and inadvertently increase the pressure on her hands, so that Wang Teng could feel it.

Sensing Wang Teng's gaze, Yan Ruyu turned her head slightly, a blush rising on her flawless face.

"Are those really that pretty?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It doesn't look good," Wang Teng said honestly.

In terms of appearance, let alone these low-level female demons in front of us, even if all the girls in the world of Shrouding the Heavens were gathered together, it is not certain that anyone's appearance could surpass Yan Ruyu's.

This is a truly flawless young girl. Whether it's An Miaoyi, Ji Ziyue, or the Yaoguang Saintess, or even the Yaochi Saintess who almost never shows her true face, no one's appearance and temperament can compare to Yan Ruyu.

In Wang Teng's view, the only one in the world of Shrouding the Heavens who could compare to Yan Ruyu was probably the one in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Yan Ruyu gave a soft hum and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She also thought those clothes were ugly, and Wang Teng thought so too.

On the other side, after Ye Fan and Pang Bo returned, they told their respective parents about the matter in detail.

Pang Bo's parents had mixed feelings upon hearing this.

“The Pang Bo who lived with us day and night for several years was actually not the real Pang Bo.” Pang Bo’s father said, his voice filled with regret.

They had lived together day and night for several years and had always been filial to them. Even looking back, they couldn't find any fault with them.

Aside from occasionally calling himself a great demon when he's drunk, he doesn't do anything else wrong. Even when he's drunk and talking nonsense, he'll restrain himself after being slapped by Pang Bo's father and never retaliates.

Recalling some past events, Pang Bo's father couldn't help but sigh.

Pang Bo and Ye Fan exchanged a glance and saw the dilemma in Pang Bo's father's eyes.

“Although that guy impersonated me, he has been fulfilling his duties as a son for many years without ever overstepping his bounds, and he has also been very devoted to his parents. If you two are reluctant to part with him, we can find that guy and have him recognize you as his godparents so he can continue to take care of you in the future,” Pang Bo said after a moment’s hesitation.

"And what about you? Are you going to leave again this time you've come back?" Pang Bo's father sensed the hidden meaning in Pang Bo's words and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's father also looked at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Yes, we still have to leave. We also have some friends and people we can't let go of in Beidou. The main reason we came back this time is to let them know we're safe. Of course, we'll come back often if we have the chance in the future..." Ye Fan said.

On one hand, there are his parents, and on the other hand, there is his extraordinary power. He is hesitant and conflicted. The further he goes on the path of the extraordinary, the longer he will be able to help his parents live in the future.

As a son, how could he not want his parents to stay with him for a long time?
Ye Fan's father and Pang Bo's father exchanged a glance and sighed softly.

“We knew it! But it’s alright. We’re already very satisfied to know that you’re still alive. If you have the chance in the future, just come back and visit more often. If you have the opportunity, we would also like to go with you to see that turbulent world where everyone can fly through the clouds…” Ye Fan’s father sighed softly and said.

Soaring through the clouds, isn't that everyone's dream?
However, he was getting old and knew that cultivation was not a simple matter. He feared that if he went there, it might affect his children, so they did not have many extravagant requests.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo fell silent upon hearing this. They also longed to take their parents with them, but they had many enemies there, so they had no choice but to leave their parents behind.

"It's alright! Do whatever you want! We're already happy to know you're still alive and have become gods in the eyes of ordinary people, able to fly through the clouds! We just haven't experienced what it's like to be a special-priced passenger yet. Could you show us how it feels?"

Pang Bo's father also spoke. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still tall and robust, and his eyes were filled with expectation as he spoke.

“Of course!” Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded.

They brought their parents downstairs, and with a casual wave of their hand, concealed their figures, making them invisible to ordinary people.

Then two dazzling divine bridges appeared beneath the feet of the two pairs of parents. Ye Fan and Pang Bo helped their parents onto the bridges, and then carefully used their divine power to activate layers of protection, carrying their parents as they rode the bridges into the air.

Looking down at the ground from a thousand meters above, Ye Fan's father's eyes were filled with joy. "Is this what it means to ride the clouds? I never thought that one day we would be able to walk among the clouds!"

The sacred bridge spans the sky, and ordinary people walking on it, looking down at every blade of grass and tree below, cannot help but feel their hearts stirred.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo smiled as they watched this scene, as if all the grievances and dangers they had suffered over the years had been worthwhile.

Meanwhile, someone knocked on Ye Fan's door.

"Hello, please check the gas meter!" (End of Chapter)
